Hearing this, Marcus shook his head, "It was wrong. Miss Elliott, before this, I always thought Paul was my man, but after, I realized that Paul had betrayed me a long time ago."
Marcus cried out against it, "He is apparently my man, but in fact he has already colluded with my brother Brooklyn. They deliberately came to this play, in order to frame me! You should know that my brother and I are competing for the right of inheritance. I've already fallen behind because of this."
His statement sounded like a real one.
Violet listened to him and could not be sure whether what he said was true or not.
After all, she wasn't familiar with the Scotts and didn't know what their nature really was.
But one thing was certain: the brothers were indeed vying for the right to inherit.
In order to get the succession smoothly, anyone may indulge in petty and mean actions.
She, on the other hand, became the innocent victim who was implicated.
"Miss Elliott, why don't you say something? Do you believe my brother Brooklyn and not me?"
Marcus saw that Violet did not say anything and asked her a question.
Violet put down her coffee cup, "Mr. Scott, honestly, I don't trust anyone. If you're done, then I'll take my leave."
It was over and she didn't want to dig any deeper.
She just wanted to keep a distance from the Scotts and had no connection with them again.
"Miss Elliott, our cooperation is still valid. I have signed it, and the contract will be effective tomorrow as long as you agree."
Marcus handed a contract to Violet.
Violet froze and was about to speak when her cell phone on the table rang.
She glanced at it and saw that it was Louis’ calling.
Marcus on the other side also saw the caller ID, and he sipped his coffee with cattiness in his eye.
"Excuse me, I have to take a call first."
Violet said sorry and then picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Johnson?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm out. Is something wrong?"
"Come to the group right away."
Violet froze and was about to ask something when Marcus' voice came to her ear.
"Helena, I have some business to take care of, so I'll go first. The contract is for you. Just sign it and bring it to Greenville tomorrow."
Marcus got up and deliberately moved closer to Violet, as if speaking to the person on the other end of the phone.
